15 impossibly cute puppies who will make you forget 2016 ever happened
Let’s just say it: 2016 hasn’t been an amazing year. It seems like every time we wake up, we’re faced with more tragedies that happened the night before. Our Facebook feeds are filled with anger and awareness, both which are incredibly important to voice and discuss. Every terrible event that has taken place this year — from the Pulse nightclub shooting and recent Fort Myers club shooting, to the senseless murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, to the loss of heroes like Prince and David Bowie — has unfortunately made it seem like our world is slowly spiraling out of control. It seems like negative news is just erupting on an hourly basis.
After such an emotional roller coaster, it’s kind of hard to bounce back and have any sort of optimism moving forwards. And, that’s completely understandable. We’re confused, and don’t feel safe. We’re afraid, and can’t shake our sadness.
So, here’s step one of trying to stay optimistic. And yes, it comes in the form of puppies. Since, well — puppies are the best animals to help cheer you up, and the fact that they’re adorable will put a smile on your face. Will puppies cure the horribleness in the world? Well, no — but they sure as hell won’t hurt. And, after absorbing the news around us, you might just need a big list full of puppies to help you clear your mind.
